Harvesting an adventure in Long Semadoh


Visitors from peninsular Malaysia trying their hand at harvesting rice, together with Chan and host Liun. (Right) On the old road connecting to Bakelalan from Long Semadoh, several Long Semadoh farmers have their fields next to the road, making it easier to transport dried-out rice during harvesting season.

HI FOLKS, for a change, I figured I would write about an experience, rather than about equipment or other outdoor topics, although this is still something off the beaten path. Hopefully, some readers might be interested to try it, too.

Back in late 2015, Chan Zi Xiang, Melisa Lim, Lilian Chen and Chia Yong Ling created their social enterprise start-up “Langit”, attempting to help local Lun Bawang farmers in Lawas, Sarawak by bringing the locally-grown beras adan, the same stock as the Bario rice, to markets over in peninsula  Malaysia.
